How to wire two batteries in Series
 

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could please tell/show me how to make a couple adapter plugs:
1. Adapter to wire two batteries in Series.
2. Adapter to wire two batteries in parallel.

Thanks,
Thomas

series, someone else can parallel, too lazy

in the long run you might as well buy a premade adapter..after buying the wire and plugs and equipment needed...as I have gotten older my time has become more important....

for higher powered systems, I recommend thicker wires;
I use this for my MMM;

:gasp: WOW Ilike the last one..:yes: i've got the other two :whistle:

So how about a triple? All my packs are 2S2P A123's, and I was thinking last night that I might want to have the ability to run 3 packs (to get 6S A123), but then normally I would only run 4S. Can it be done with a jumper wire on the plug that isnt being used?

Of course. You can have as many series or parallel packs as you want. For 3 packs in series, go here and select the correct option

I was more wondering if I could use the same harness when I only run 2 packs, and just plug a jumper across the spot where I'd normally have the third pack. Seems to me that it would work.

Yup. Just use a Deans with the terminals bridged...

How hard was it to put those ridges in the deans connectors?

Those are different connectors from HobbyCity IIRC. Deans-clones but with the ridges...

Never realized that part of your site existed. Will have to remember for future questions of this nature.
